Introduction

BIGBANG’s G-Dragon has once again made headlines, but this time it's not for his electrifying performance. The renowned artist's agency, Galaxy Corporation, has publicly apologized after his concert, part of the highly anticipated "Ü bermensch" world tour, started a staggering 73 minutes late.

The Delay

Originally scheduled for 6:30 p.m. KST on March 29 at Goyang Stadium, the concert faced a series of unforeseen delays attributed to severe weather conditions. Just five hours before the event, Coupang Play announced a delay of 30 minutes due to worsening conditions. However, fans were left in dismay as the concert didn’t start until 7:43 p.m. KST.

Frustrated Fans

The outdoor setting undoubtedly contributed to the frustrations of concertgoers, many of whom expressed their anger online. Critics pointed out that G-Dragon did not personally address his audience or offer an apology when he finally took the stage. Understandably, fans expecting a memorable night were instead met with chilly winds, subzero temperatures, and unexpected rain, which left many feeling neglected and disappointed.

Galaxy Corporation's Response

Acknowledging the backlash, Galaxy Corporation released a statement on the following morning. "We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience caused by the delay to the concert," they stated, emphasizing that safety was their utmost priority. The agency detailed the challenging weather conditions leading up to the concert—including sudden snow and severe winds which prompted the extended delays.

Safety Measures Taken

G-Dragon was reportedly vigilant throughout the day, monitoring the weather conditions during soundcheck and rehearsal. The agency confirmed that these cautious measures were essential to ensure the safety of concert attendees, as the potential use of stage equipment in adverse weather could have posed significant dangers.

Looking Forward

In a gesture of goodwill, the company expressed gratitude to fans for their patience during the lengthy wait in the frigid weather. The agency is now gearing up for G-Dragon's second show in the "Ü bermensch" tour, scheduled for March 30 at the same location. Fans, however, are hoping that this time the weather will cooperate, and the concert will start on time.

Conclusion

G-Dragon's concerts are consistently a vibrant celebration of his music and artistry, and despite this setback, fans remain eager for the next show. Time will tell if the star can bounce back from this incident and reclaim the attention he rightly deserves. Keep your eyes peeled for updates—will his next performance redeem the experience for his loyal fanbase?
